As I've promised, this contest will continue as long as there is a participant!
I strongly believe that we will choose to stay in this platform if we have a solid connection with our friends here.
The aim of this contest is to create engagement between us.
I am elated to have two participants this week. It means a lot to me--it means that there's hope. We still want to stay in the Steemit Community if we interact, build strong friendship with one another.
And I promise that as long as there is a participant, this Proof of Engagement Contest shall continue. My desire as an advocate of engagement was further fueled by the support of a dear friend @dswigle, who is both generous and kind-hearted, and contributed to the prize of this contest. I am overwhelmed by her generosity.
For the first time, I have two participants this week, @wakeupkitty and @heartbeat1515. And I decided to give them 1.500 Steem each as their prize.
The Rules
Create a blog with screenshots of at least 10 comments you made with different individuals. It is a must that you initiate the conversation, not just a reply to a comment given to you.
Your comment should be at least 50 words, and not just the repeatitive, heartless comment, such as 'nice shot,' or 'beautiful scenery.' Rather, it should be engaging with the aim of getting to know each other more.
Leave the link of your post here, as I will be reading the comments you have made.
Resteem is appreciated but not necessary, for more exposure of this contest.
I will be the judge of this contest, and my judgment is based on how heartfelt your comments are.
Prizes
1st Prize = 1.00 Steem
2nd Prize = 0.500 Steem
3rd Prize = 0.250 Steem
However, as I still can afford it and want to give some more, prizes will vary.
Should you want to donate for the prizes, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Here is my own proof of engagement:
A Shoutout to Past Participants
I am inviting @bia.birch, @marblely, @erelasblog to participate in this contest once again.

With much anticipation,

Wow! Thank you in advance for your support! I'll be looking forward for it.
No problem at all. Currently collecting new screenshots for your contest. @sarimanuk seem to be interested. I hope she join in too.
@wakeupkitty and @heartbeat1515, prizes have been sent.
Thank you for your participation. Hope to see you in the next round. 😊
Number 1
Thank you very much. The less there join the easier it is to win. Congratulations @heartbeat1515. Good you joined too. Let's make a story out of the comments we give so those who do visit us have something great to read, receive tips or... know more about us.
It's just a pity the screenshots take a lot of time. I need to change each of them.
On to the next contest/engagements.

!trdo 💕
Congratulations to you too. We both win this time.
Let us make a great stories out of our comments. I'm going to tag the other in my post later. Currently, searching for new friends to engage with while promoting the contest. Before that I'm going to finished scrolling my notifications first. It is easier using @esteemapp as you said. Let's share your tips of having screenshot of 50 words to others so that they won't go do the same mistake I did 😅 That really cost me a lot of time. 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you for the prize @gingbabida.
Hahaha! Yes. But the more joiners, then I have to put on some more funds. I am more than willing to do that. 😊
I am much busy than usual now. But once I finished the project I am doing now, I'll have more time.
Thank you for tagging more people, including myself. 😂😂😂
@gingbabida dami ko SS ko so ko nagawa I post
2 days ago ngka busy ako.
Ohhhhh.. Sayang. 😢
Di bale, nakalabas na ang contest for this week, pwede mo pang magamit yan. 😍
Looking forward for your entry, my friend. ❤
We'll see if people like to join and funds can be found too as long as you do not give sky-high prices. Happy day 💕
A short comment for you. I need to feed the wolves and something is barking outside... Time flows..
I took part of making 10 screenshot but it's looks short conversation.. Embarrassing conversation of mine(comment) I don't know if I can do all things what I did before here. More additional work loads. @wakeupkitty.. Try to see my timeline, there is no post like before. I continue my challenge entry to @davidke20 because it doesn't consume time of writing and what I did is walking2 video and done quickly in appics.
I understand it's all very time consuming. I wonder how you can be in @esteemapp's top 10 with so many posts. Try to schedule and reduce what you post.
Perhaps you can join some contests with a video too?
I wish you strength and above all help and some relaxing time.
@esteemapp counts the words. If you ask me 50 is not very long. 💕
I wonder how I did top 2, my comment is too short. Thank-you etc. But happy I never read that you change your looking back rules and there is a theme unlike before
Since I write a text there is a theme. Only if I know no theme I leave it open. It's better to read a contest before you join.
As you joined the contest before February 14 the theme was: Valentine's day/love. I wrote you at that time I would count it as valid because there was written about "love" in it.
You didn't notice my remark/comment?
Most contest change during the past weeks. My contest is not always the same. I put effort in what I write and I hope you find the time to read me/the ccc contests and members too. It keeps you updated with changes in new things coming up too.
You still post a lot so I hope you find some time for us too.
A happy Friday for you. 💕
Lesson to learn and thanks for the reminders. To be honest, I really skipped and jumped and that made me disgraced in life. I need double time , just like boating in a two rivers. It's not easy in my job to have steemit, they knew it but sometimes I knew they feel bad but they ignored and I ignored without saying anything to avoid arguments. I realized to stopped this craziness but it already an addiction, I learned many things.
Thank you
Will you join this one or is "not liking writing" the problem? 💕
Let’s see
@fredkese it's no crime to say "not interested" or "it takes too much time". I know all about it, slow internet and the high prices asked for it. Enjoy your weekend. 💕
A bit busy this days. Gone for a contract to type examination questions for a school
Many people like to say that they are not like writing. Then why do they publish posts? Because a lot of people publish posts, but no comments.
Perhaps their posts are mainly photos... it diesnt cost that much to say a few words but I do wonder why they join a social platform.
Congratulations @gingbabida! You have completed the following achievement on the Steem blockchain and have been rewarded with new badge(s) :

Thank you for your support @steemitboard. And thank you for keeping track for me. 😍
Congratulations @wakeupkitty and @heartbeat1515!
And congratulations @gingbabida for your inaugural 2 contestants! :)
Yes!!! I'm happy with that milestone! It would have been three contestants if you have joined @marblely!!! 😍😂
Looking forward for your entry in this round. Wait for an exciting announcement as well. 😍❤😍
Hehe... ok ok.. I will join this one :)
Is there a timeline from when we can collect our responses? Is it starting from this contest post?
Yes, it should be. But a day older is not a problem, since I have to use an older screen shots for my post anyway. Hahaha! 😂
I really don't mind. The gist of this contest is that I see people engage with different individuals. 😊
Thank you @marblely. Me and @wakeupkitty already starting our engine. We started taking screenshots of our comments already. I got two already and we tag it with number, I add one the name of whom I engaged with as well. I've been spending time reading and overuse my voting power too. It's time to rest fo a while and come back again in the morning.
Engagement 3 with @marblely.
Hehe cool cool. The contest just started, you will have plenty by then :)
Haha can't wait to see more participants this time.
Hereby my entry to your contest.
I added something extra to it. Do not forget to read it.
A happy day to you.

Of course, I will never forget to read it. I just did actually. Thank you so much for this entry. It made me smile @wakeupkitty. 😍😊
Thank you for bring a member. We gave you an upvote, wish you good luck and a great weekend.
Please note all upvotes are manually given and we have a lack of SP to support each member.
Greetings @team-ccc
Yes, I noticed that the team is low at SP, thus cannot support the members too.
How about we request for the members to grant some SP or we give some steem, then @team-ccc would use it to power up? Just a thought.. 😜
We did, @wakeupkitty did and @gertu did several times. No respond. The members do not delegate or only to those who give them a big upvote.
I see. We really have to think more into this. 🤔
Congratulations to the both winners
Thank you @edidiongcyril. If you may, you can also join. 😊 Looking forward for it. 😊
Thank you @edidiongcyril. Come and join us. I just made my entry that I collected in 2 days time because of my time limit. I managed to finish it today, thanks to the train being stuck on the railway for almost an hour.
Nice proof. :D :D
Of the lack of the real human communication on the Steem blockchain. :)
By the way, I checked the statistics, and nowadays the average number of comments per post is only 1-2. It was around 3 a few months ago, so it is went even lower.
By the way (again), are you really "elated" from 2 participants? What would you do, if there would be hundreds of them? I know that there will be no hundreds of participants (at least not nowadays on the Steem blockchain), so this is a theoretical question.
Well, if that would really happen, then it means that things are changing for the better in the Steem blockchain! 😜
Have a pleasant day @xplosive. 😁
You are such a positive, bubbly person! Keep it up! :)
As I promised you. Here is my entry
I'm inviting @davidke20, @chanelcalestus, @zamifara, @bengy, @tarazkp, @kenny-crane to join in as well if you guys would love too.
Woooow! Thank you so much my dear. 😍 I'm so glad you have made it again. ❤
It's not as hard as before with tips from @wakeupkitty. Thanks to her.
Yes, she really is a brilliant-minded person. I learn so much from her as well. I consider her as one of my mentors here on Steem (without her knowing it, but now she knows, if she reads this.) Hahaha! 😂
🤣🤣🤣 That goes the same for both of us.
Hellloooo! I am back! :)

Thank you for keeping this place alive!
Wooooow!!! 😍 What a pleasant surprise! This is such a lovely day. 😍 I have two participants today. So I already have three participants for this round!
As your account name was new to me this morning @gingbabida, in following up your being featured in PHC's / @steemitbloggers daily feature post, I have looked into your profile more and found this post.
I genuinely appreciate efforts like this one. And wholeheartedly agree with this ...
... for the most part. Particularly the leaving of all but meaningless comments. "Save your strength" for something you believe in is my usual private thoughts upon receipt of them.
The only variation for me is the "aim of getting to know each other more." Yes, again, I think that is great. If you (we) are so moved. We are individually motivated by different things. My personal focus is writing meaningful comments that add value to the work of the author who wrote the post. We will inevitably get to know each other better, as we do this, since we are "seeing" what others are inspired to write "from the heart" in reaction to reading our work ...
You have "led by example," in providing your own comments for illustration. That is great. If you will permit me a suggestion, I would encourage you to provide a link to the posts of those of your participants you have chosen to reward. We always "hear" a lot about "quality content" in writing posts. By providing examples, you are encouraging "quality content" in engaging with our fellow Steemians.
Okay, that is enough out of me ... 😉 Just wanted to let you know I really appreciate your thoughts expressed here and wish you well going forward with this initiative.
Upvoted and resteemed.
P.S. Written some time earlier this morning, but could not post, with this morning's escalation between our Top 20 Witnesses and the young Mr. Sun ...
Wow! You've written a novel. Hahaha! 😂 And I love it. This is one of the most heartwarming message I have read @roleerob.
You are right, there is so much that motivates us and in different ways. It is another to add value to the work of the author and it is another forge friendship.
I would never have stayed here on Steem if I didn't interacted with people who eventually became my good friends. And that's what I really hope to develop on people. Comment, make friends. (I hope you get my point. I'm really good at expressing myself in English, since I'm not a native speaker.)
Thank you for taking the time to evaluate my contest @roleerob. Please know that your effprt is very, very much appreciated. I will follow through with your suggestion, and would ask permission from the participants if I could use one of their comment as a sample. ❤
Have a pleasant day.
P.S. I woke up today and I read on Discord about the mess. Huhu! 😭
I like your style @gingbabida. Yes ...
... in the weekly CEL contest post, I have never even been in the top 10. But ... The number of characters shows I write content which consistently would have me in the top 10 on that particular metric. Like you, if I am going to take the time to write a comment, I want it to count, as it comes "from the heart."
And, yes, we can certainly both work to add value to our Steem blockchain (which is why many come in the first place), while at the same time engaging with others all over the world. And, in so doing, create some very good friendships. At least as much as that is possible in a "virtual world."
Take care! And together we'll soon find out how this mess "high over our heads" is resolved. If it gets resolved (it is very serious) ...
I don't get on the CEL contest post often too. I think those that host a popular contest are the ones that are on top. (That's only my speculation.)
Hopefully, I can understand what is going on. But I really can't, in my limited knowledge. I can sense the panic on the GC on Discord, so I guess it is quite serious. 😭
Have you ever let @abh12345 know you'd like to be in the weekly accounting for the CEL contest? That is, are you already on his list? If so, I would think, given your passion for good comments, you would do well.
From what I know, those who win, like @wakeupkitty, are just prolific commenters. She could tell you what it takes, as she has actually won!
As for the fate of our Steem blockchain, it is hard to say. I know there is a great deal of talk about a hard fork. With the hope that sufficient numbers of Steemians, like us, would follow the "old guard" into what would likely be a major rebuilding effort ... The current blockchain, now controlled by TRON / Sun, would theoretically then be an "empty shell" ...
Yes, I am included in the list already. And I make it to the top list, too. 😊
And oh yes, Kitty is very efficient in making comments. She's a pro. She even had her entry an the first day that the Proof of Engagement was out. Very quick fellah!
I cannot comment on the Steem's current standing, as I really cannot understand what is the implications of what is happening. I see people powering up. Others are powering down. Chaotic environment nowadays. I don't know what to say. Le sigh.
I am.not a pro and it's still a miracle to me what it takes to win. Look st the list. It's not about commenting only, posts, upvotes count, the amount of words, etc. Each day I try to read, commment, read some new people bit it's clearly not enough..It's a combination of all factors given. This besides of the fact it takes me 10-16 hours a day with my slow connection and mobile phone. That's for sure way more hours the rest invests in this plstform. 💕
Saludos amiga @gingbabida, éxito con el concurso. Te pasaré 1 Steem en apoyo a los premiados de tu concurso.
Greetings friend @gingbabida, success with the contest. I will pass you 1 Steem in support of the winners of your contest.
Wow!!! You are so generous my friend @gertu! Thank you so much for the support! 😂😊 I really appreciate it.
It is very little, but this week I can help you with the participants.
